HDPVR + single view extraview combo.
Conected the HDPVR (via HDMI) to a brand new SONIC LCD LWDF422 (full HD)
Connected a DVD player and the single view via an amplifier into the LCD using composite RCA
Everything works fine on the HDPVR decoder when on HDMI
But if I change the LCD to Composite (to watch DVD) and then go back to HDMI to watch HDPVR again I get a blank green screen.
To fix the HDPVR green screen I have to put the decoder into standby and then turn on again.

Now my client is MOST UNHAPPY and either wants a solution or will not pay for my installation, and I must remove all equipment.

If I can tell the client with 100% accuracy that it is the panel that is at fault then so be it I will do that.
But I am not sure that it is the LCD at fault. (I phoned Tafelberg the supplier, and they have not had any similar problem with that panel before.) If I force the client to take back the LCD and get another panel and he brings a new one back and the same problem is present all hell would break loose.
So I best be sure of my facts BEFORE giving such advise.

I assume you have checked for the latest SW on the HDPVR - otherwise Xtraview would not be working.
Perhaps try a different HDMI port. Does the decoder display "HDCP not supported" during the blank green screen period?
Does it do the same regardless of whether the DVD player/1110 is connected via RCA?
Try connecting the DVD player via component video and see if it does the same.
Does the amp have HDMI ports?

ja i know, i was really suggesting you just tell him that. Sonic's arent that common, so it might take a while to find other HD users with it
Also try going to HDMI from another source besides composite

@ Dirty Dog. From the way you explained the problem it is apparent that the TV switches off the HDMI port when switching to another input hence the necessary in and out of standby to re-establish the hand-shake. Please verify if you are on the correct software and also if the decoder displays 'HDCP IS NOT SUPPORTED' on the front panel.

It was a dark and stormy night.(But because his installation was sound, his DStv reception was perfect.)

Also try to correct it by turning the TV off then back on again. Since the new software in December I get a crazy colour balance when I switch the system on. I can correct this by either switching the decoder to standby, switching to another input on my amp and back again or by switching the TV off then on again. It may be a similar manifestation. BTW my panel is a Sony Bravia LCD.

I also have a Sony LCD TV.
The problem which I experiance is a follow.
This happened 3 times so far from December.
When I switch the TV on to watch TV I also got a black screen.
2* this happened ,I hear sound but no picture with default Dual-View decoder on AV connection.
1* this happened with HD-PVR this week no sound or picture via HDMI.

To solve problem, unplug 220V supply and plug supply back on.
This works every time for me.
I phoned Sony in this regard, they will do firmware upgrade for me.
Not done yet.

I have the exact same problem. A 100% green screen. I have to switch the HD-PVR to standby and back on again to get the picture right. I am using an LG Projector. I can tell you it is not the screen/projector/tv causing the problem as this only started after the latest software. I had my HD-PVR since the Olympics last year and this only started around the time of the new software. It is definitely related to the HD-PVR software or settings.
